This is a very difficult chip to find nowadays.
This $5 Chip is from the old Sunny Isles Illegal casino in Fl. See the old majestic casino below. The chip is one of two versions, from the same casino, one with the $ sign in front of the 5 and another, the one on sale and the more rare one, without the $ sign.
When they tried to close the casino, Lansky and his Jewish mafia, which by then controlled most of FL casinos and Cuban casinos, took all the chips and carried them to the newly opened "Dealers' school", the forth he had opened in Cuba, at the top of the newly renovated Plaza Hotel. See below at the area at the top of the Plaza that was closed down and turned into a dealer's school.
This piece of Illegal US casino history and Cuban history is being auction to the benefit of our board . Last sold in ebay was $75.00. privately it had brought a lot more. This chip has rarely surfaced in USA, most of the chips available have been found in CUBA.
Let's start with $35.50, a GIFT. If no takers I will donate the money and keep it. Help the board & take advantage!!
Best price by tomorrow noon. Takes it. Time to think about it,.
